Palette Analysis

William Harding Smith distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. Only 5.0% is devoted to #614226, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The value range of 50 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. This is the light William Harding Smith preferred, made measurable.
